What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine use this noninvasive medical system to diagnose and help people get well and stay healthy. Very different from Western view of illness, Chinese medicine teaches a system of natural health and healing through balancing your body’s subtle energy. Acupuncture is one of a number of the pathways to balance.

How does Acupuncture Work?

The classical Chinese medicine explanation is that pathways or “channels” of energy (called Qi or Chi) run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers and canals flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. There are over 400 different point of the body linked together by meridians.

Vital Health is dependent on smooth flow of energy along these meridian pathways. Illness results when the energy is out of balance.

This out of balance state can be in the form of– too much energy flow, diminished flow, or a complete blockage of the energy flow. While there are many ways to address these energy imbalances, acupuncturists insert very thin, disposable stainless steel needles at specific points to stimulate a new flow of healing energy circulation through the meridians. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
